↖ Priority Node Pathing

Regardless of the class you select, you'll want to prioritize the Fire Master node, which grants regen based on your fire as the number above zero (the number in parentheses). If you're a Templar, Witch, or Elementalist, aim to go straight to this node, while Juggernaut or Marauder classes should head to the Strength nodes, Arsonist, and eventually, the Fire As Mastery cluster.

 

↖ PoB Link

↖ Early Gear Acquisition

To get your Righteous Fire build off the ground, focus on obtaining Ruby Rings for fire resistance. You can buy them outright or convert Iron Rings into Ruby Rings using the vendor recipe. For added resistance, use the Fire Res craft, which costs one transmute. You can easily farm transmutes by selling unid'ed blue or yellow items to vendors.

 

↖ Early Damage Boosts

To boost your damage early on, acquire the Flammability curse in Act 3 and utilize either Scorching Ray or Fire Trap as your secondary DPS skill. Both skills have their strengths, but Scorching Ray may provide slightly higher damage due to the full 4K multiplier applying to Righteous Fire.

 

↖ Righteous Fire Links

In your early setup, prioritize Burning Damage and Elemental Focus as a three-link setup. As you progress and obtain a four-link, you have the option to choose between Increased Area of Effect (for clear) and Concentrated Effect (for single-target damage). At a five-link, you can opt for either Increased Area of Effect or Increased Critical Strikes, depending on your preference. For the final six-link, you can stick with Increased Area of Effect for better clear or select Increased Critical Strikes for more damage.

 

↖ Early Aura Prioritization

While Purity of Fire may seem thematically appealing, prioritize Purity of Elements first for ailment immunity. As you progress and mitigate ailments through Pantheons or gear, consider swapping to other auras like Purity of Fire, Malevolence, or Skitter Bots.

 

↖ Movement Speed and Fast Clear

To increase your movement speed and clear maps faster, use Shield Charge with the Momentum and Faster Attacks support gems. Weave Shield Charge with Frostblink for smoother map navigation. Don't forget to use Blood Rage for additional attack speed and frenzy charges.

 

↖ Val Righteous Fire

While Val Righteous Fire consumes 60% of your life, it provides substantial AoE damage and speed. Time its usage with a life flask for massive sustain during critical moments.

 

↖ Ascendancy Tree Templates

Consider the Inquisitor, Juggernaut, or Elementalist ascendancy for your Righteous Fire build. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, so select the one that aligns best with your playstyle.

 

↖ Gear Prioritization

For gear stats, focus on life, regeneration, resistance, fire damage, fire damage over time, and fire damage multipliers. If possible, aim for items that grant +1 level to fire spells or all spells.

 

↖ Early Uniques

Certain uniques like Pyre, Immortal Flesh, and Rise of the Phoenix can significantly boost your early-game effectiveness. However, strive to mix in rares to maintain overall build stability.

 

↖ Conclusion

Starting a league with a Righteous Fire character can be immensely rewarding. By following these top recommendations and build strategies, you'll be well on your way to conquering the challenges that await you in Path of Exile. Embrace the power of the flames and set your enemies ablaze as you ascend to greatness!
